Update:

In case you haven't noticed, there is an additional child in our family photo. I would like you all to meet the newest member of our family. She is the pretty little 7 year old in the purple dress. "Eloise" now has a little sister. We have decided to call her, "Amelia Bedelia".

Spring Has Sprung....

Well....at least where we live.
The weather is beautiful. Don't be too envious though,
we will probably have more rain soon than most of you have all year.
I guess it all balances out in the end.

Any way... this change in the weather
is the cue for my O.C.D. side to reappear.

During the holidays, I kind of let things fly
with all of the baking and parties and such.
After that I am focused on getting Eloise back on track
with a normal (our normal) school routine.

Needless to say things get a little out of sorts.

I've had a blast, but there comes a point
when I have to stop and reevaluate my life,
finances, and surroundings.
I have to get back on the proverbial, "track".
The following are a few of my latest Spring cleaning projects :

I went through my cabinets and combined the leftovers
from duplicate containers of spices and baking products.
For example I had two half full canisters of curry powder,
so I combined them and threw the empty one away.
All of the bags of pecan fragments
got poured into a large mason jar.
There is a lot less clutter (O.C.D. Me is smiling) and I am on a roll.

After I got everything in it's place,
I noticed how pitiful all of my Sharpie/masking tape labels looked,
so I fixed that.
